What you see is not what's always what was actually happening. I love the stopped in action you got. BW was probably the only way to get your you did considering the media you used, concrete. I love the reflections, the stop action, clarity and lack of color. My initial impact was high. Very creative presentation. The action stopped is the center of interest.

Great job.
Technically this is a very strong piece and you have captured your subject well. The lighting is great and adds to the excellent composition.
Great work!

Weird, this doesn't look like a negative image to me. Great capture of the water drops, nice close up, looks more like rocks being thrown into a lake so that is good. Nice and clear. Good luck in the competition!

    Thank you. I know, it really doesn't look like a negative but like a night shot. The original was shot at daytime, not bad but soooo gray. I decided to doctor a little.

This is so awesome cleo! I love it! The conversion looks so awesome! Your technqiue has worked well for the capture of the waterdrop as it hits the pavement! It presents well here with the stop action shot. Nicely focused and your effect working with the conversion and the exposure is awesome!

Nice creativity, something a bit different. I like the reflections of the splashes.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

A nice scene of splashing water. The negative effect is unusual to see. You seem to have it sharply focused. However, there is just to much black to be interesting.

    Thank you very much for your compassionate. Ups, I have to admit I like the black, I even deepened the shadows considerably to make it darker. I didn't liked the sad looking grays of the original. But that's just me and my emotion. But how boring would the world be if we all would see alike.
